I have a USB external hard drive plugged into my Ubuntu 16.04 machine, and want to copy some files to it from my machine, using the Nautilus file browser. However, the external hard drive is not showing up in Nautilus in the panel on the left. If I run lsusb from a terminal, then one of the lines it prints refers to the external hard drive:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1058:0748 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. My Passport (WDBKXH, WDBY8L)
Therefore, my machine can see the drive, but it isn't mounting it.
If I run fdisk -l, then it prints out the following:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 1985 3907026943 3907024959 1.8T f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sdb5 * 2048 3907026943 3907024896 1.8T 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
And if I go to /media/username and type ls, then it prints out the name of my secondary hard drive, which is an internal hard drive on my machine, and not the external hard drive I am looking for.
What should I do to diagnose this?
